Windies’ Gayle talks up Test comeback

Lara is the highest run-getter for the West Indies in Tests with 11,953 runs in 131 matches, and remains the world-record holder for the highest scores in Tests at 400 not out and first class cricket 501 not out.

On Monday, Australian spin-king Shane Warne called on CA to deliver the concept to a Melbourne audience as soon as this year’s Boxing Day Test against the West Indies. “We are loved around the world”.

“We expect yet another good crowd this summer”, a Cricket Australia spokesperson told Xinhua on Monday. “One is he had it before he got injured, get him straight back in”.

“I’m just coming back off an injury so there’s no way I could’ve actually been part of that test team”, he said.

Gayle also stressed that a young West Indies team needed time to develop in the longer format.

Commenting on that knock the Jamaican stated “I scored ninety two in a recreation and the subsequent day felt like I’d been hit by a bus, the physique will truly take time to construct up regularly”.

Gayle rejected the suggestion that many West Indies players chose to play domestic Twenty20 competitions, such as BBL, when they could be playing tests instead. “Test cricket deserves batter than that”. “I don’t know any others with any other issues”, he said. “And whenever I play a one-dayer or T20, I’m so passionate about it. I can’t contribute in white clothing for the West Indies, but I’m 150 per cent committed while I’m in the coloured clothes for the West Indies”.

“You can’t be begging on the road, you can’t live off your stats”. It kind of reminded me how we used to be dominant against Australia and it’s vice versa now.

After defeating the West Indies in Hobart by an innings and 212 runs, the Aussies are going into the MCG Test as unbackable favorites.

“I haven’t batted for such a long time”. He made his test debut against Zimbabwe in 2000 at Queen’s Park Oval and played his last match against Bangladesh in 2014 at Arnos vale Ground.

“You have to give us time … it won’t happen overnight”.

“I’m not saying the West Indies can’t beat Australia but come on we have to face the facts”, Russell said.
